Let’s bring it, Texan fans

Sort of a long shot to make the playoffs, but let’s make Reliant Stadium a playoff atmosphere on Sunday against the Patriots. To borrow from Mack Brown: Show up early, stay till the end, wear your colors.

Remember, it takes a lot of time to get into Reliant Stadium from the parking lots. Security is easy to get through because they have a lot of stations set up, but closer to game time, the escalators get packed and the ramps just take a long time to walk up.

Another incentive to show up really early is that the last home game of the year is when the judging for the Tailgater of the Year happens. The weekly winners of Tailgater of the Game will be set up just south of Budweiser Plaza….early.

I am in total support of Raging Bull Tailgaters. They have a very open tailgate that welcomes tons of fans each week, and for primetime games, they do it up right with a really good live band. They also feed me bacon-wrapped scallops that are amazing, and I’ve eaten the best brisket of my life at their tailgate.

Only bummer thing about the Tailgater of the Year competition is that each tailgate doesn’t get much space, so they can get pretty crowded. The Raging Bulls end up with about half the space of their normal tailgate but they always do a nice job. Good luck guys!

I don’t have much time to post anything, but I would like to invite you to vote for Brian Cushing as Rookie Player of the Week. He has been nominated 5 (!) times but has never won it. So come on Texan fans, spread the word and vote him the way on up.

Thanks to everyone who responded to the last blog post. I still have limited time to check out what is going on, but I’ll explain more later (and may have fun pics), and still invite you to leave Texan info in the comments–it’s easier for me to check my Blackberry comments than it is to find time to go online. Y’all have helped me get my Texans fix. Thanks again! -Steph
